I would like to start out by sharing that in the first quarter we had 235 students that received Honor Roll (3.0-3.49) and 432 students that received Merit Honor Roll (3.5-or higher). That is 667 students out of 1228 (54%)that have a 3.0 or higher. We also have 77 students that have perfect attendance for this year. This is awesome!

As we start our second semester this is a fresh start for everyone to continue doing great work or to have a better quarter than their first one. There are supports for students to get the extra help if they need it but they will have to put in the work and ask for the help. Their teachers are available to reteach a standard that they might be struggling with or to offer correctives on a test they did not do as well as they had hoped. Please encourage your student to ask for help if they needed it

Please feel free to reach out to teachers, guidance counselors and administration anytime we can assist you or answer a question.

*Come to school well rested

*Eat breakfast either at home or at school

*Turn your laptop completely off at night (not just on sleep mode)

*Be sure your laptop is fully charged

*Bring corded earbuds from home if you choose to wear them during the test

*Be prepared to do your best and try your hardest

*When provided the opportunity by your teacher, take the practice test seriously and do your best to answer the questions accurately. Pay attention to the types of questions being asked of you.

*Do not rush through the test and review your answers before submitting
